Quote from Wood Guy

Here's how I would do it. Take the distance from the ferrule to the sharkfin, then subtract the distance for the wishbone at the sharkfin (including the part of the wishbone in the rubber). Then subtract the line from the ferrule to the band (including the line in the band). This is the stretched length of the bands. Divide this length by 3.5 and you have the unstretched length. Add back the length of band at each end for covering the line and wishbone, and you have the length to make the band for a 3.5 ratio (25% elongation).

I'm not a typing critique, but 25% elongation won't fly around my house. <img src= " class="smiley" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x" height="23" width="23" loading="eager" data-tooltip="biggrin" aria-label="biggrin">
Who says '' specimen length'' shouldn't count for something...... OK I suck at nerd humor.;)

I like to stretch my rubber Specimen L X 3

Don, pictures are excellent! Work of artist!
I suppose you can screw it more tight than on a picture? It seems to be loose!

I knew you would catch this <img src= " class="smiley" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x" height="23" width="23" loading="eager" data-tooltip="biggrin" aria-label="biggrin"> Just a quick photo assembly before I strip the gun mech and examine all internal parts after all the test firing.

All the best. Don

Even though Tromic's first Mod was very deadly on one small offshore Pacific Blue fin tuna....

The new Tomba 700 kit parts are so finely machined, they look like parts made for the medical industry. Marko is a very gifted machinist, bravo to your son Tromic.
The new light weight slider will get used at 30 Bar in the few weeks. I'm waiting for the new GoPro Hero 2 with it's great slow motion capabilities.
Winter will be dead for blue water fish, but local waters will be clear for filming.

Had a great talk with Mark Laboccetta of Technosport today...what a nice guy, and very knowledgeable about the Pneumatic gun scene, Omer has a good guy in the U.S.

All the best, Don

Zeus hath new gifts from the sea.. New Tomba 700 kit for Airbalete,
